A scholarship scheme for postgraduate study abroad has been renewed for a further year, EU funds parliamentary secretary Ian Borg announced today.
The €7.5 million EU-funded Endeavour scholarship scheme is expected to help 500 students further their studies overseas. It will continue where previous Endeavour scholarship programmes have left off.
Dr Borg said that 247 students had received scholarships as part of the scheme's Group A, with 57 benefiting from Endeavour group B scholarships.
Youth parliamentary secretary Chris Agius said that Endeavour scholarships were intended to help fill skills gaps in the Maltese labour market.
Those interested in applying can do so online until 6 July.
